Projector Repair RMA Request
Submitting Repair RMA Request
To process the repair request for your Panasonic Connect Projector product a return authorization number (Order Number) is required for each unit before the equipment is shipped to the Panasonic Service Center. Please complete the form below with the required information and we will email you a work order number and shipping instructions. Warranty coverage of the Projector is determined by the serial number, date of purchase verified by a copy of the proof of purchase and physical examination of the Projector upon receiving it for repair. If the product is not registered with Panasonic a copy of the purchase invoice may be requested to validate warranty coverage. For information about the Service Terms and Conditions refer to the section below.
